The Way of the Consort

Ji Zhao looked up to the sky without saying a word, and continued walking.

"I tell you to stop!" Ji Chongyuan shouted angrily.

Who cares about you...

Ji Zhao also walked faster, but Ji Chongyuan was even faster. He strode in front of Ji Zhao, stopped him, and said angrily, "I told you to stop, but you didn't hear me!"

"Who are you?" Ji Zhao asked.

Ji Chongyuan's face flushed red with anger: "I'm Ji Chongyuan!"

Ji Zhao asked again, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Ji Chongyuan clenched his fists, like a little lion, as if he could come forward to tear him apart at any time.Yin Ming walked up to him unhappily to protect him, and even Chen Xing was as eager as a fighting cock.

Ji Chongyuan waved his fist: "I am your brother!"

"You also know that you are my younger brother? Is this how a younger brother talks to an older brother? Who taught you?"

Ji Zhao asked repeatedly, leaving Ji Chongyuan speechless, and Chen Xing covered his mouth and snickered.

Ji Zhao found out that this cheap little brother was just a brainless kid, and he didn't have the slightest sense of accomplishment even if he was defeated. He wanted to leave, but Ji Chongyuan wanted to stop him.

"Fourth brother, don't be rude." A serious voice interrupted.

In addition to their three legitimate sons, there are other brothers and cousins ​​in the family. In order of age, Ji Chongjin is the oldest, Ji Zhao is the third, and Ji Chongyuan is the fourth.

Ji Zhao followed the sound and saw that Ji Chongjin came slowly with a few servants, like a breeze, "Brother!" Ji Chongyuan called out in a muffled voice, but the voice was kind, so the relationship between the two half-brothers is quite good. ?

Ji Chongjin walked up to Ji Zhao, and said softly, "The third brother must not blame you, the fourth brother is just a bit impatient and has no bad intentions."

Ji Zhao chuckled lightly: "Brother is too worried, why would I care about these things with my younger brother?"

Ji Chongjin still wanted to talk, and Ji Zhao nodded towards them: "Since there is nothing to do, I will go first." After speaking, Ji Zhao raised his foot and left immediately, Yin Ming followed him closely, Chen Xing turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Ji Chongyuan making a grimace.

Ji Chongyuan was so angry that he wanted to go forward, Ji Chongjin frowned and held him back: "What are you doing, but you still look like a child of the Ji family?"

"Brother! He is not a good person!"

"He is your third brother..."

"Damn! I don't have this brother! Doesn't he look down on our family and Jinling? Even if he comes back, he basically doesn't live in our house. How many times have we seen him in the past three months? We meet each other every now and then. He didn't have a good face, and he didn't pay attention to us, but he did everything possible to hook up with the princess, he—"

"Okay..." Ji Chongjin interrupted him, and said seriously, "If this is the case, don't talk about it in the future, how can we talk about the affairs of the Tian family."

Ji Chongyuan was not angry, so Ji Chongjin turned around and called him: "Come back with me, and go to the academy together in the afternoon."

Ji Chongyuan's face immediately turned pale: "I don't want to go to the academy..."

Ji Chongjin had something else to say. In the distance, the chief steward of the family ran over and immediately saluted the two of them, "What's the matter, so urgent?" Ji Chongyuan asked.

"My two lords, His Royal Highness sent someone to meet our family, San Lang."

"Since it's an important matter, let's get in charge." Ji Chongjin stepped aside, and then pulled Ji Chongyuan, who was reluctant, to walk to his yard. Ji Chongyuan complained all the way: "Didn't you see the way he stared at the eldest sister and the second sister?" , he will definitely bully the two younger sisters in the future! The elder brother has always been aloof from the world, so be careful to be bullied by him! And..."

Chen Xing said loudly in front of Ji Zhao, "I heard that in Jinling City, this Dalang Lord is called "Master Yulan". "

"Why?" Ji Zhao was curious.

"He likes magnolias. It is said that his yard is full of magnolias. The fragrance of the flowers in the yard is full of flowers. The fragrance of the clothes he usually smokes is also magnolia. Even the ink sticks he uses are mixed with magnolia flower juice."

Ji Zhao couldn't help laughing when he thought of Brother Cheap's sad face and thin figure, which really had some meaning.

"You are still laughing, those two are not good people at first glance! One is putting on airs, and the other is not even willing to pretend."

Yin Ming scolded: "Quickly stop talking! We won't live here for long, and we have no contact with them."

"Just in case they stab us in the back, my lord!"

"Who is our lord? Why are your eyelids so shallow! Will our lord be afraid of them?"

Chen Xing curled his lips, so he stopped talking.

Ji Zhao walked into Jiashutang, and before he had time to look around, the family manager came to report, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to see him.

His little heart trembled, what was he going to do, didn't he just come out of the palace a few hours ago?

He had to call someone in first.

A quarter of an hour later, someone sent by His Royal Highness came over, and the leader was a senior eunuch. Ji Zhao looked at it and said with a smile, "The senior official looks familiar. I met him in the palace before? It's just that Ji Zhao doesn't know what the senior official should be called."

Baoqing immediately bowed down with joy and said with a smile: "The son-in-law is a young one, and the young one's name is Baoqing. It is really a small blessing to be remembered by the son-in-law!"

The people in the palace could talk, and Ji Zhao didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but seeing the smile was very real, Ji Zhao also smiled and asked, "Is there something your Highness wants to tell me?"

Bao Qing moved half of his body away, and pointed to the four boys behind him: "If you go back to the son-in-law, Your Highness said, the son-in-law is already a son-in-law, and he was also named Marquis of Pingyang by the Holy Majesty. His status is precious, and there must be many people around him. The rest, When the renovation of the Hou's mansion is completed, we will prepare it for the son-in-law. Right now, we will allocate a few people to the son-in-law's envoys, and usually go out with the son-in-law, so as to save the son-in-law from being unable to send people when he has to do things."

Ji Zhao saw that the four of them were all about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing uniform and neat clothes.

"Raise your head and show it to the son-in-law."

Ji Zhao looked again, his eyes were clear.Ji Zhao was very happy. He had no friends and would always lie in bed. He yearned for excitement and fun. His Royal Highness was very thoughtful!From this point of view, His Royal Highness is not bad!

He sincerely thanked His Highness the Crown Prince.

It made Baoqing feel uncomfortable. These people said that they were sent here as envoys. In fact, His Highness personally met and questioned them in person. During the questioning, they were all screened out. It is estimated that His Highness sent them here to keep an eye on them. surveillance...

Bao Qing felt that the son-in-law was actually quite careless, and wondered why the prince was so guarded against the son-in-law.

After Bao Qing left, Ji Zhao looked at the four people and remained silent.

Yin Ming and Chen Xing on the side were very anxious, not their own status, they grew up with Ji Zhao when they were young, and no one could squeeze them away, they were worried about the prince's intentions.

They were able to get in front of Ji Zhao as personal followers for so many years, and they were all human sperm.

Looking at it again, their lord is really thinking hard, so he knows that his lord is also worried!

Yin Ming wanted to speak, but Ji Zhao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I thought of it..."

Yin Ming and Chen Xing looked forward with anticipation, thinking that he had thought of a way to deal with these four people, but Ji Zhao pointed to the four people below: "I have already figured out the names of the four of you! Your name is Coke, your name is Fanta, and you Your name is Sprite, you, uh, your name is Queer!"

Yin Ming and Chen Xing looked at each other: "..."

Another biggest regret of Ji Zhao's previous life was that because of poor health, he never drank carbonated drinks that everyone likes.In ancient times, the body has improved, and other foods can be fiddled with, but there is no way to make sparkling water, so let’s give it a name, and it’s right to commemorate, remember and miss it!

Those four people were extremely clever, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The little Coke, Sprite, Fanta, and Queer have seen the son-in-law!"

Ji Zhao clapped his hands happily: "Great kindness!"

Although Ji Zhao was clever, the modern civilized society is different from that at this time. Of course, he is not as full of thoughts as the ancients.For example, he now thinks that the prince is a good person, and he also thinks that Ji Chongyuan is a brainless kid. In fact, it is just that Ji Chongyuan has a shallow mind, which is easy to see. After he came, this Ji Zhao, at least for now, is really quite Simple, but no one would believe his purity.

In comparison, Ji Chongyuan really has more thoughts than him.

Just like at this time, Ji Chongyuan didn't want to go to the academy, so he had already tried to sneak back to his yard.He was thinking about how to punish Ji Zhao and give Ji Zhao a shame.

Their ancestors of the Ji family had gods, and even many emperors. As a descendant of the Ji family, Ji Zhao actually went to Princess Shang and became a useless son-in-law? !

In the eyes of young master Ji Chongyuan, this is really embarrassing and embarrassing!

A useless person would go the way of Princess Shang, but this useless person came from their house.

But did Ji Zhao treat them as family members?They haven't met each other for many years, and they don't even call their brothers by name. Is this really a brother?Ji Zhao has been here for so many days, and his mother is considerate to Ji Zhao. Ji Zhao didn't say "thank you", and he didn't say hello, completely ignoring his mother. Is he looking down on his mother's family background?

How amazing is it to have a grandfather named Yin?They are still surnamed Ji!If Ji Zhao is really capable, then change his surname to follow the Yin family's surname!

"Master, Master..." Ji Chongyuan's servant, Laixi, slipped in and whispered, "Someone came to report over there, saying that everything is ready and waiting for your visit!"

"Let's go!" Ji Chongyuan's eyes lit up, he didn't care about punishing Ji Zhao, and immediately sneaked out of the mansion with Laixi.

Ji Zhao shut himself up in his study all afternoon, reading all the time.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s not studying hard, he’s flipping through his travel notes, writing down all the interesting places, and he’ll go there one by one in the future. He also digs up the local chronicles of various places, looking for interesting ones to write down on paper, Imagine a better life in the future.

Yin Ming glanced at him, thinking that he was working hard, and sighed to Chen Xing: "Our lord, you are a great talent, ah—"

Chen Xing was more straightforward: "It's all the princess's fault. If we insist on being a son-in-law, our husband will never be able to take the number one prize in this lifetime!"

"Keep your voice down! Don't let the gentleman hear you!"

"I know, our lord is really pitiful, it burned for ten days—"

"Shut up!" Yin Ming hurriedly looked around and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was there.

There are four people sent by the prince outside the door. If the prince finds out, it will be the crime of their lord.

Speaking of this matter, the two of them felt distressed. The reason why they didn't live in Ji's mansion before was because their husband was ill.Not long after they came to Jinling, they received the decree of marriage. What kind of blow was it to their lord?Full of talent and learning, but no longer useful, will be bound forever in this Jinling City.

Jinling seems to be prosperous, but it is not everyone's nostalgia.

Both of them were depressed.

However, the four people sent by the prince were really not ordinary people, they all had kung fu, they clung to the door lightly, and they really heard what the two of them said.

In the evening, Zong Zhen knew about it.

So it turned out that from the very beginning, Ji Zhao was unwilling.

Even though he had already guessed it and heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't help sighing. After all, Ji Zhao took good care of Fu Chen at the beginning, and it was Fu Chen who hated Ji Zhao unilaterally.

Also, the status of a son-in-law may seem noble, but not everyone is willing to do it.

Zong Zhen also knew that it was his fault that he shouldn't have chosen Ji Zhao as his son-in-law.

It's just a matter of marriage, no matter right or wrong, it has always been like this, and the emperor's order can never be violated, even if it is him, even if Zhou Liangdi in the East Palace is just a decoration, she is still the niece of her natal family that the Empress Dowager pointed out to him when she was alive.No matter how much he disliked the Empress Dowager's natal family, he could only accept it.

Fuchen is a noble daughter of the Tian family, so he was wronged by recruiting him as a son-in-law?

Ji Zhao must have been unwilling and rebellious from the very beginning.

Even if he knew that he was indeed at fault, how could he offset the vengeance of exterminating the clan and seizing the throne in his previous life?

This is a real blood feud, and there will be no end to death.

Zong Zhen clenched the scroll in his hand, remained silent for a long time, called his chief guard Chen Keye in, and ordered him to send someone reliable to find Pei Rong.

Chen Keye was taken aback: "Your Highness?"

It's only been a few months since Pei Rong was kicked out, so he needs someone to find him again?

Zong Zhen didn't want to explain, so he waved his hand and told him to go down.

Zong Zhen was fascinated by the scroll in his hand, Pei Rong was Fu Chen's favorite, a commoner's son.However, he thought that this person was close to Fu Chen because he had an evil heart, and he was not as good as Ji Zhao who came from a noble family.In his previous life, he was smashed with a stick, and he was expelled from Jinling early, and his whereabouts disappeared. For this matter, Fu Chen probably hated him for the rest of his life.

When it came, Ji Zhao, whom both he and his father trusted extremely, was nothing more than that.

He came back too late after all.

In this life, he wanted to fulfill his sister's wish as much as possible.
